Re: Crash after file transfer on MSN

This bug (details) has been open for more than six months - which beggars belief - i.e. given that it's fatal and (can be) frequent.

Re: Can not receive or send offline message

This was fixed in Pidgin release 2.10.2 (details) but the latest release of Adium 1.5 (details) which came out the day after uses 2.10.0. Let's hope the next release incorporates it.

Re: Can not receive or send offline message

The Pidgin bug report (see my last message) has not been addressed yet and is causing angst amongst others. It's interesting to see that you've always been unable to receive (nor, presumably, send) offline messages. I had the impression it broke only recently but my tests (again see my last message)...

Re: Can not receive or send offline message

Tried to resolve by rolling back to older version - 1.3.5 being the oldest which I could find would run under 10.5.8 on a PPC box - but to no avail. (I deleted the "Adium 2.0" folder in /Library/Application Support before running each version.) I've added a post with a debug log extract to...

Re: Can not receive or send offline message

I would have thought that if LibPurple is a library it's stored in the package which references it - hence older versions of Adium should contain the version of LibPurple which doesn't contain the bug - though as an ex-programmer of an ancient database I can't say I understand how it all hangs toget...

Re: Can not receive or send offline message

I've looked at the "known bug" linked resource and see it relates to Pidgin rather than LibPurple. Perhaps someone could clarify this. Whatever the case I'd appreciate guidance as to how to overcome this issue until the bug's fixed - e.g. by running an earlier version of Adium - though the...

I can reproduce the problem by turning off the AirPort service in my sending computer and then back on again - though, oddly, not by turning it off in my receiving computer. (It remains "available" in that case.) On doing so I watched the receiving computer disappear from the list (by leav...

The way to set up notifications is to check the "Network" preference box "Forward notifications to other computers" on the sending computer and then select from the list below the computer you want to receive them - and to set the "Listen for incoming notifications" und...

I have a PPC G4 and an Intel Core Duo Mac mini connected via an AirPort network and have been trying this feature with Adium. Although my testing is not complete it seems that having iTunes running on either box - be it at the front or in the background - prevents such messages being displayed. Inde...

I too was baffled by this - i.e. the function of it whatever the service is - it being the first time I've seen it given that my previous version was 0.89.1. My girlfriend & I have both MSN and Jabber accounts and we didn't see our respective tracks when we tried this. It turned out that this wa...

Thanks. I'll keep my eye out for it. I've got to try the "Portable" option anyway since I'll be away from my machines soon - in darkest Russia (for two weeks into the New Year) where I'll be using an iBook. The script will be my first "implant" so let's hope it works. Still, I am...

Multiple Locations

I have two Mac minis at home - both acting as media centres - and both part of a wireless network with, of course, an Internet connection. Although I use one of these principally as my Adium "station" I want to use both and whilst it's a straight-forward enough case of installing it on eac...
